The Weekly Pour: Late-Summer Stunners

Lawrence

3 months ago

As August winds down and the summer forecast looks to reach through September, we’ve got our eyes out for wines that perfectly straddle the two seasons.
Rich, Italian reds like Passo and Zolla are great examples (and critical darlings): equally delicious with a burger off the grill as a Sunday roast. Chardonnay expertly fits the bill too. The Mothe Chablis or Remordimiento Chard are vastly different, but equally delicious examples that will never let you down.
Here’s a few timeless options to get you started:
Passo del Sud Edizione Appassimento by Tagaro 2024
Seven consecutive vintages have earned 97 points, but the number that means just as much is the near-perfect score from nearly 100 member reviews. This isn’t a wine people simply try. It’s one they come back for.
Chablis Villages by Domaine Marion Mothe 2024
Marion Mothe’s extraordinarily refined Chablis Village is a spellbinding picture of Chardonnay purity from a remarkable vintage. It’s a domaine, a vintage and a fifth-generation winemaker worth following.
Château La Pointe ‘Ballade de la Pointe’ Pomerol 2017
“Straight to the point, La Pointe is a solid expression of Pomerol that remains well-priced (for the moment).” – Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, The Wine Independent, 2022
Have a great weekend!
